[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Grammar Question--Why Robes

| The term as used in the HP books is referring not to the robe 
| itself but to
| the entire outfit required - shirt, tie, robe, etc. - so 
| "dress robes" means
| "dress clothes" or "dress outfit".


[Lee]:
Okay, but in the book, there's no mention of ties or other accessories, just
the robe.  Remember that Ron thought he had Gini's dress, it was the single
garment he tossed over Pig's cage, etc.

So that's why it doesn't make sense to me.  The book mentions no accessories
even if they do appear in the movies which, IMHO aren't cannon.
